Captain Roderick Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Hey folks, I've been going a little nuts on ebay etc and now have a fair wodge of stuff either waiting to be built or en route through the post. Due to pouncing on bargains and getting a bit distracted by all the chat about grimghast reapers, I've lost the focus I had on building a 2k deathmarch grand host or legion of night, and due to being selfishly peeved with battlescribe for them changing the LoN listing for AoS 2.0 (thus requiring effort to port my old lists across), I'm finding it hard to drum up much enthusiasm for creating a new list based on what I have. I know there's a good few folks on here who love a bit of list-crunching however, so to rekindle my enthusiasm and focus, I thought I'd throw it out there - how would you use the stuff I have? Specifically, what would you use at 1k from this range? And what would you suggest for a 2k? (other than more grimghast reapers of course!) So I have/will have: 3 vampire lords, 2 on foot 1 on nightmare, with some wings hopefully en route in the post for one of the foot dudes 2 necromancers 2 Wight Kings (both with blade not axe) 46 skellies - 10 with spears, 16 with blades, the rest unassembled 10 grave guard 10 Black knights 5 blood knights 6 spirit hosts 3 Vargheists 4 grimghast reapers As many dire wolves as I can be bothered to assemble. A bit messy I know ? how would you use them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For first matches you got it all... can easily play a variety of 1k games checking your style. Highly mobile Soulblight (vamp bloodknights blackknights 40skellis with necro finished up with 2x5 wolves) stable and slow grand host (wightking with grave guard, skellis with necros and vamplord with knights) magic galore both necros, a vamp, 40 skellis, spirit hosts and knights is triple vamp with necro possible...should be... just rough sketches of my first jump into listbuilding. Points are details and there are probably millions better lists to be build, but just jump into the fun, I‘d recommend starting with 750-1000 points to get a feeling for your style and how to play in the new edition... not quite sure how much table time you have under your belt, if I bored you with silly and wrong basics I‘m kinda sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously bother yourself to assemble 10x of them immediately. Used as one unit or two at low point values this will give you good flexibility on your battline options. PS Are you asking what to expand with in future purchases for 2k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated, I've had trouble theming what I've got - big block of skellies is of course the way forward, and you're right I have the stuff to do fast or grindy at 1k. 9 hours ago, Evil Bob said: PS Are you asking what to expand with in future purchases for 2k? Yeah, probably more skellies I know, maybe a vlozd, hexwraiths, but I'm feeling a bit vague about it. Need to fall in love with the crunch again!

Evil Bob Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 If you’re still on track for making a LoN force buy the Start Collecting! Flesh Eater Courts. That will get you a second Varghiest unit and a VLoZD cheaper than separately. Frankly every Death player should hav-NAY MUST have at least one zombie Dragon in their collection.

Hadn't spotted that one. I'll try and hold off buying it until I've painted most of my current stuff though, still not even opened my Barrow lords box yet. Was thinking of doing a conversion with Nethyrmaul the Undying for my vlozd but the dimensions and cost would be considerably greater, never mind the effort!

Honk Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I really would recommend trying out different styles. Nothing more frustrating than building and painting an army, which doesn’t perform the way you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy is a teacher, so will be free for lots of gaming soon. Planning to play path to glory first, should help me get to grips with things, work out which units I want more of.
